Re: umount /var is busy on shutdown

Also, I have had a problem, when /var/log is a separate partition.
After some investigation I found that LAuS is holding /var/log somehow,
but either "fuser" nor "lsof" doesn't show any open files for /var/log.
I have solved this in two ways. On servers, where I do not need LAuS, I
turned it off. On servers where I do need LAuS I do not create a
separate partition for /var/log.

Is this problem repeatable then? Run mozilla, shut down & get '/var
busy'? If so, try running mozilla, then as root, manually switch to
single-user (telinit S), stopping services, and using 'fuser' to see
what's keeping it busy (might want to 'man fuser'). e.g.:
/sbin/fuser -m /var
/var: 1826 1826r 1826c 1826e 1895 1895r 1895e
1952 1952r 1952c 1952e 1957 1957r 1957e 1959 1959r 1959e
...
The letter codes indicate how the process is making it busy.

I had the same problem some time ago, in my case there were no files
opened on /var but it was reported as busy.

I resolved the problem removing /var as a separate partition.
